Dr. Gilbert Grosvenor, president of the National Geographic Society, yes- terday announced a contribution by the mdee( to the research and reconstruc tion fuhd of the Musee J. Miln to aid its director, M. Zacharie Le Rousic, in further excavation and restoration of of Carnac, Brittany. Aligned as perfectly as a vast army of giant West Point cadets turned to stone in the midst of intricate rlh- tryside. 'y represent, who built them, ‘why, are ques- tions to which explorers are seeking the answer. Legend Says Saint Hid in Ox’s Ear. Peasants of whitewashed Le Menec, set in the midst of this state-preserved megalithic park, will tell you that the Cyclopean monuments are soldiers of a heathen army which, in srcient times, pursued St. Cornely, the patron saint and protector of horned cattle. When the saint was finally cornered near the sea, he took refuge in an ox’s ear and roceeded to turn his pursuers to stone n their tracks, Others believe that the pillars were windbreaks for tents of an encampment of Roman legionnaires or that the monuments mark the burjal ground of some ancient decisive ba‘tle. But, all superstitious beliefs to one side, the theory expounded by M. Le Rouzic is that the megaliths were set up by & Celtic elvilization of sun wor- shipers, Ever reaching out toward the resting place of their god, the sun, this prehistoric race migrated ages ago from Asia, across North Africa, to §) and PFrance, and finally wound up dinavia. Wh! Celts gradus became tural, as indicated by the fi;‘“" terioration of the stone plem: and weapons found. This change of character eventually proved their de- struction, for they were unable to beat back the all-conquering bronze-sworded Gauls, who swarmed down from the Intreducing Menhirs and Dolmens. ‘The weird ths at Carnac and vicinity may be divided into two general groups, the menhirs and the dolmens. The former are tall, elongated stones usually ranging in height from 3 to 20 feet, which were set up on end by some MILLINERY $7.50 Hats now . . .. .55.00 12.50 Hats now . . . 20.00 Hats now 30.00 Hats now .
